Why wasn't it more popular?

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2005)

With all the commercial hype, I can't believe this movie was a box office flop. I went to see it and plan to buy the DVD when it comes out (OK, yeah, I'm a big Sean Bean fan, but ...) and I thought it was a great movie. Granted it had some elements that we've seen before, but that doesn't mean it was a bad movie. One of those mysteries where the critics were kind but the viewers just stayed away. The action sequences were great, and the story was very thought-provoking. The acting was also really good, in my opinion. It's definitely an evening's entertainment even if it's not really Oscar material. And that's what I have to say about that. (OK, that's 10 lines - lol)
